They did this many times, going there, hurting them a bit and then retreating back to their territory. So it's very possible for him to have been hurt this way. Also another possibility might be some sort of fight for mating rights with one of his brothers, but I'm not so sure, I would go for the other one.

From singita sabi sand,
AUGUST 25, 2014 by BRADLEY THOMET Photos byChris Renshaw, Safari Architects The mangheni pride and majingilane coalition drama Whilst guiding at Singita Sabi Sands, Chris and his guests came upon a scene that can only be described by three words: Power, Dominance and Intensity. The dominate Majingalane male lion coalition had bumped into their lionesses and cubs, the Munghen pride, who had killed an impala. Being the dominant male lions, they executed their right to the spoils… Well, the females had something to say about this and the below images explain what happened.  *This image is copyright of its original author The females see the males approaching and stand to attention. You can see the blood and remains of the carcass on their faces. *This image is copyright of its original author The females move to greet their males to show respect and submission, in the hope of retaining their meal. *This image is copyright of its original author The males approach in a dominate pose, heads up and roaring. Claiming this scene and taking ownership of the carcass. *This image is copyright of its original author A female rubs a male, to re-affirm scent and try to calm and placate the male. *This image is copyright of its original author The tension in the air is palpable and as the males move towards the carcass, all hell breaks loose and a fight erupts. The males chase after the females to claim the meal. With menacing intent in their eyes and roars bellowing, breaking the early morning peace and quiet, the males move up and down and claim what is their right. *This image is copyright of its original author For a moment everything calms down and the males feed on what remains of the unlucky impala. The juvenile lions are now curious of their powerful fathers and begin moving towards them to try and get a piece of the meal. At the same time, the lionesses are not so easily distracted from their hard earned meal and proceed to muster up some courage. *This image is copyright of its original author This is not a good idea… In a flash, an almighty roar and explosion of power erupts. The male takes out his wrath on one of his sons and puts him his place with few well placed blows of his mighty paws and biting jaws.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author In complete submission, the cub rolls on his back and accepts what punishment is about be dealt out. *This image is copyright of its original author Instinct drives this behaviour and one day when he is big and strong, he will do the same. The cub learnt valuable lessons from the this brutal exchange.3tooth disciplining a young male of the mangheni pride  *This image is copyright of its original author We watched this exchange with wide eyes and adrenaline filled wonder. What an incredible display of power and dominance. It took a while for all of us to calm down and digest what we had just witnessed. The intensity of the exchange is a paradox of what we usually associate lion sightings with. From sleeping beauties to rage-filled warriors. This is why I love lions, they epitomise everything that is the African bush. Peaceful beauty, wonder and splendour that in an instant can become brutally intense with awe inspiring power.
